35 of the Best Things to do in Melbourne with Kids
"The Melbourne Museum is a great attraction if you are looking for educational things to do with kids Melbourne has. At the Melbourne Museum, they can learn about Victoria’s natural environment, cultures and history through various displays and interactive technology. The little ones (0-5) will love the Pauline Children’s Gallery, where they can become archeologists digging for fossils or become stripey or spotty in the ‘camouflage disco’."

"The venue may not be the roomiest in Melbourne, but people come here to party hard, for sure. A burlesque show awaits for the clientele on Friday nights, and after you enjoy yourself for a while, linger a little in the three rooms packed with night animals enjoying the music and breaking off the dancefloor. Saturday nights wait for you with cheap drinks and a good load of DJs."
